Wholeness, Peace, & Unity in a Crazy World

Canadian author and educator, Jeannette Armstrong teaches that the Okanagan language is not written but spoken, and each syllable of the word for insanity carries a depth of meaning that is ecopsychologically profound: a) the first syllable means  ‘talking, talking inside your head’, b) the second component of the word means ‘scattered and having no community’, c) the third means ‘having no relationship to the land’, and d) the fourth syllable means ‘disconnected from the whole-earth part’. The root of this insanity lies in Western Civilization's disconnect from the natural world. Our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health - our sanity, relies on reconciling this separation and awakening to the parts of our interconnectedness that have been numbed out as a result a focus on anthropocentric competitive individuation. The roots of healing the Earth and humanity lie in remembering what has been a part of us forever and what all humans, at one time or another, understood to be the truth; that we are nature. What we do to the Earth we do to ourselves. Join us for an exploration of practicing Wholeness, Peace, and Unity in a crazy world.
